Insuring a Future for Military Veterans

SHARE

The leadership, problem-solving skills and integrity you demonstrated while serving in the United States Armed Forces are some of the same skills needed for a successful career in the insurance industry. Many insurance executives are veterans themselves, and recognize that hiring veterans is good business.

Military skills that easily transfer to insurance careers include, but are not limited to the following:

The ability to plan and execute tasks in high-stress, unstructured, frequently changing environments.

Dynamic risk management skills.

Experience securing, using and maintaining equipment worth millions of dollars.
